Have you asked admin for one?
No, I don't have any pull with them.

I can appreciate your point, that's more evidence that we "need" a "free for all".. "knock down"... "loser leave town section".
Admin will not allow it. A lot of people left the forum because of it and too many snitches who can't handle the brusing would whine to admin. Been there and have been warned more than once. I am the worst of the worst but I have to practice self control.

A measured and sensible response, Tom. 'Abortion should not be a political issue because it is a medical procedure and a personal choice that is based on ones own morality. The last thing a woman should concern herself with is the government or political parties using it for political gain.'

True words Tom...
I was first drawn to the OPP by the General chitchat section...
The light hearted banter of Badbobby, Slatten, Bahmer, Archie and others was a refreshing insight onto the brotherhoid that all people share..
Though they often differed greatly in the Main section, they came together in this section...
I have been constantly amazed at how enjoyable individuals are when they meet to discuss less 'charged' topics...
I enjoy debate and confrontation as much as any (perhaps less than Texans

Damn trolls

Being a foster parent is a moral and noble task.
You are to be commended.
I don't believe that most pro-abortion people believe that we should go to economically and socially deprived countries and promote abortions do they?
I don't know, I could be mistaken.

To tell you the truth I am not aware that abortion is being promoted as a means of relieving poverty in economicallly deprived countrys. It would be better to support organizations such as the peace corps and doctors without borders to improve life for the poor in these countrys.
